Brady and Brazilian-born Bündchen have been married since 2009. At the time of their nuptials, he already notched his first three Super Bowl victories, while she was considered the top supermodel in the world. Her name was nearly synonymous with the Victoria’s Secret Angels campaign (although she’d ended her contract with the lingerie brand two years prior) and she was the highest-paid model in the world for 15 years in a row. Since then, she retired from the runway in 2015 and wrote a memoir in 2018 called Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life.
Even celebs go on blind dates, and this powerhouse twosome met on one in December 2006. They were introduced through a friend of Brady’s; he didn’t know if he was ready for a relationship, having just gotten out of one, but the doubt vanished when he saw his future wife. “When she walked in I just thought she was the most beautiful woman I’ve seen in my life,” he told Howard Stern.
Bündchen felt the same. “I knew right away—the first time I saw him,” she recalled in 2009. “The moment I saw him, he smiled and I was like, ‘That is the most beautiful, charismatic smile I’ve ever seen!’ You know that feeling of, like, you can’t get enough? From the first day we met, we’ve never spent one day without speaking to each other.”
Tom Brady Children
Tom has three children, he shares son John “Jack” Edward Thomas with his ex, actress Bridget Moynahan, and two children with Gisele Bündchen — Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake.
On Sept. 25, 2022, all three kids attended the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ home opener. Before the game, the siblings wished Brady good luck on the sidelines and sent him off with hugs.
From 2004 to 2006, Brady was in a relationship with Moynahan. Shortly after their split in 2006, the Blue Bloods star revealed that she had gotten pregnant before they broke up. The co-parents welcomed their son, John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan, on Aug. 22, 2007, in Santa Monica, California.
Brady and Bündchen married in February 2009 and welcomed Benjamin Rein, their first child together, on Dec. 8, 2009, in Boston. In the ESPN+ series Man in the Arena: Tom Brady, the couple reflected on their son’s home birth, of which Brady was initially skeptical.
The couple welcomed their daughter, Vivian Lake, on Dec. 5, 2012, in Boston. A few days after her birth, Brady told ESPN, “I grew up in a house with three sisters. I think it’s great for my boys to have a girl in the house, just to understand at least a little bit about what makes a woman tick — not that I can certainly figure that out, because I can’t. She’s a beautiful little girl.”
Tom Brady National Football League (NFL)
Tom was a lightly regarded prospect coming out of college, with an unimpressive NFL Scouting Combine performance reinforcing this reputation. As a result, he was not selected until the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, 199th overall, and was the seventh quarterback taken. Brady’s success as a passer has been attributed to his work ethic, competitive spirit, pocket awareness, and intelligence.
Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on 20th March, 20, 2020. The two-year contract was worth $50 million in fully guaranteed money, with up to $4.5 million each year in incentives. The deal also included a no-trade and a no-franchise tag clause.
Brady announced he would return to the Buccaneers for the 2022 season. In the Buccaneers’ season-opening game against the Dallas Cowboys, Brady became the oldest quarterback to start a game in NFL history. In Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, Brady became the first quarterback in NFL history to reach 85,000 career passing yards.
In Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons, Brady had 35 pass completions of 52 pass attempts, 351 passing yards, and a touchdown pass in the 21–15 win. Brady and the Buccaneers lost in Weeks 6, 7, and 8, dropping the team to 3–5. It was the first three-game losing streak for Brady since his 2002 season with the Patriots.
Brady has been featured as a guest star on several popular television programs, hosting Saturday Night Live in 2005 and voicing himself in the 2005 The Simpsons episode “Homer and Ned’s Hail Mary Pass” and the 2006 Family Guy episode “Patriot Games”; both football-themed episodes were broadcast within a week of that year’s Super Bowl. In 2009, he appeared as himself in a sixth season episode of Entourage. In 2015, he had cameo appearances as fictionalized versions of himself in the Entourage movie.
Tom Brady Rings
Tom has earned a total of seven rings over the course of his stellar career, having played more Super Bowls than any other player in the league, making him the only player to have the highest number of rings in the NFL.
Brady’s first Super Bowl win was a first for the New England Patriots too. The quarterback led the Patriots to a 20-17 victory over the St.Louis Rams during the Super Bowl XXVI in 2002. He won the franchise another Super Bowl in 2004, defeating the Carolina Panthers with a 32-29 score during the Super Bowl XXXVIII.
The following year, the Patriots beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21, winning the title yet again in the 2005 season. The next two Super Bowl appearances did not end well for the Patriots, losing 17-14 to the New York Giants in 2008, and again to the same opposition in the 2011-12 season.
Brady won his fourth Super Bowl ring in 2015, defeating the Seattle Seahawks 28-24. A historic win against the Atlanta Falcons during the 2017 season secured Brady his fifth ring. However, the following year proved disappointing for the team, as they the title to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tom Brady won his sixth ring in Super Bowl LIII, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3, also becoming the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl in 2019.
Winning the Super Bowl LV in his home city Tampa, Brady took home his seventh ring after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9, making his record impossible to break. Tom Brady has won six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots. However, he is currently playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after signing a two-year contract with the team. The Buccaneers won against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl LV this year in which Brady earned his seventh ring.
